German Zoo Says That, In Hindsight, Naming A Monkey "Obama" Was Probably Not Their Best PR Move

A German zoo changed the name of one of its monkeys Friday from! "Obama" to "Okeke" after a black group warned the original name implied a racial slur. The newborn mandrill was named Obama this March, in honour, zookeepers said, of US President Barack Obama.
A Dresden Zoo spokesman said the new name took effect Friday and confirmed a report in an English-language website, The Local. Obama visited Dresden last month.
